About Early Settlers of Burleson County in the Texas War for Independence
When Santa Anna revoked Mexican constitutional rights, over thirty men from this Burleson County area left to fight in the Grass Fight and the Siege of Bexar. While they were away, Mexican troops advanced within forty miles as civilians fled across the flooded Brazos River. These men helped win the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Early Settlers of Burleson County in the Texas War for Independence
When Mexican dictator Santa Anna revoked national rights, 30 or more men from this sparsely settled area left to resist his armies: in Grass Fight (Nov. 26, 1835), Siege of Bexar (Dec. 5-9) and other actions. While able men were absent, the foe came within 40 miles of here, pillaging the country. Civilians fled over the swollen Brazos, toward safety in the United States. Their men on April 21, 1836, helped win Battle of San Jacinto and independence. Some were in Regular Infantry Company A; Companies C, F, and H, 1st Regiment, and 4th Company, 2nd Regiment, Texas Volunteers. (1973) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5051007569
